"Rev Patriot John Lott 3 married Sallie Lightfoot in 1762 in N.C and they got land grants in GA before coming to MS" ~ ~ ~ Bapt Association of Florida Parishes written history.
Patriot under Fighting Southern Tuscororan Troop leaders Colbert and Pugh, John Lott 3 was the founder of Marion Co, MS On 07 Nov 1807, John Lott, Sr and his family immigrated westward to the Mississippi Territory (Mary Givens Bryan, Passports Issued by Governers of Georgia 1785 to 1820 (Washington, D.C.: National Genealogical Society, 1962), p 46, said a passport through Creek Nation be prepared for James Taylor, John Lott Senr., William Williams, and Samuel Newton with their families.). His son, John Lott, had already immigrated to the territory in 1805. John Lott II already owned land in the Florida Parishes.
Migration of Pioneer Families According to the "History of Marion County, Mississippi", Marion County Historical Society, pp. 6 & 7, Marion County Public Library, # 976.221: "Among the original routes used by the people coming into what is now Marion County, Mississippi, were the Indian Trails through the Creek (Indian) Nation. The State of Georgia had an agreement with the Creek Nation that white people would not encroach upon their land in the western part of Georgia and the eastern part of the Mississippi Territory that is now a part of the state of Alabama. Therefore, any persons traveling through the Indian lands were required to obtain a passport from the Governor of Georgia. Many settlers coming into the Mississipppi Territory from Georgia and the Carolinas used these routes through the Indian lands. Among the earliest pioneers who chose one of these routes was the Lott family from Tatnall County, Georgia, who came into the Mississippi Territory in the early 1800's. Family tradition says that as soon as the territory was opened to settlement John Lott, Jr., went to look over the new lands and the rest of the family began to move as soon as he could get back with a good report. John Lott Jr.'s, passport signed by the Governor of Georgia, was dated 6 December, 1805. Next came Jesse Lott, whose passport was dated 22 November, 1806. Then, on 7 November, 1807, John Lott, Sr. obtained his passport. On 9 January, 1809, Robert Lott, Amos Lott, Stephen Lott, along with other people, received a joint passport. On 2 April, 1809, Joshua Lott, "wife and five children", procured their passport."
Not long after the move into the Mississippi Territory, John Lott Sr made his will. His estate was probated in October and December 1808 in Washington County, Mississippi Territory.
Multi estate owner father with land from Bertie Co to Spanish West Florida Claims had this John Lott 3 early on, living on the Toisnot Swamp in what is now Wilson Co, NC. By 1790 they were living in Barnwell Co, SC. 14 May 1791 was granted land in Effingham Co, Ga. due to his bounty land grands from a very long military career and had made good on his fathers' Spanish West Florida claims and petitioned for the courthouse in Marion Co, MS. He also had multiple residences like his father. 1797-98 listed as taxpayer in Montgomery Co, Ga. 0n 13 Jan 1795 deeded 950 acres of land, 150 cattle, mare, household goods to his father in Screven Co., Ga. On 10 May 1805 deeded to his father in Tattnall Co, Ga. 350 acres of seamy lands, 550 acres of pine woods, all hogs and cows owned jointly, all household goods and 9 slaves.
